Asian Basketball Journal - January 16, 2016

So much has happened since the last edition of the Asian Basketball Journal. Sichuan slid back down to second spot after losing to Liaoning, while Xinjiang returned to the top with a win over Shanghai in the CBA. All-Star Weekend came and went in the KBL with Cho Sung-Min winning the 3-point contest and former PBA import Marqus Blakely being crowned Slam Dunk Champion. Japan’s NBL also had its annual All-Star events, while Taiwan’s SBL continued to heat up. Iran’s Superleague and Lebanon’s LBL also packed a lot of action!

Like in previous posts, I won’t be going into a lot of detail. I’ll use mostly images and then just add captions to each one that will, hopefully, capture the essence of the latest developments in Asian hoops.2015-2016 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA):- Images from OSports.cn.

Andray Blatche and the rest of Xinjiang are back on top of the CBA.

Liaoning has been on a big winning run of late, beating GuangDong and Sichuan.
